Why put the new episode mission up before the show?

[Era]

Oh, right. I forgot she mentions that. Still, she doesn't say WHY that happens, so it's not a huuuge spoiler. But yeah I'll admit it's something we normally wouldn't have known until the episode aired.

She reveals that, too.
Spoilers:

How she escapes: Nolan lets her go.
Why she is allowed to escape: She saves the lives of Nolan and the Mayor

I feel bad for Trion. People will complain about anything.

Gosh, if a tiny little spoiler like this is going to cause such a ruckus, then I guess Trion will just have to wait until Tuesdays to release new episode missions.
But then people will complain they can't play it on Mondays.
So Trion will release it right after the show airs.
But then people in different time zones will complain it's before the show aired.
So Trion will make it just a couple hours after the show airs.
But then people will complain it's past their bedtimes and they can't play it until Tuesday.
Next thing you know, Trion gets pissed and waits til Friday to release their content and it's just one mission where you have to find a bridge, jump off it, and die. Oh and you don't get to respawn.

Content gets released early, people wish they didn't. Content gets released after, people complain why they had to wait so long to play the content.

Given that this is the first episode mission to be released period, incorrectly at that (before the show even airs) what content did they release after the show that people were forced to wait so long to play the content? I could give you a hint but it's not brain science or rocket surgery.

They're the ones that hyped up the transmedia experience and they finally deliver on the promise and they can't even do it right and people just accept it?

Dude, she wrote "Spoilers:" before telling any spoilers.

Brocket Surgience!

Yeah, like that wasn't spoiled earlier in the thread. OH WAIT! It was!

[Arsenic_Touch]

Another thing to note, they tote the concept of the show and game existing at the same time, that's why Nolan and Irisa cannot be in the game while the show is still airing (their excuse for removing the first episode mission preludes) and now they introduce a episode mission when Nolan and Irisa are still in defiance? tsk tsk Trion, at least be consistent.

[Chaotic Calm]

I believe if this game was "perfect" you would see a high percentage of mental breakdowns and worse with nothing to ***** and whine about. some peoples children....

Maybe I want to experience the story in order. I don't want to skip to the end and know how it ends.

We are not all time travellers. we are not experiencing the story from a non linear non subjective view point.

This doesn't make any sense. The game had content that led into the show first. There is no set "order" of how things should be released except for the one that makes sense to the show lore and both tv and game teams. You simply do not get to say what comes first, what runs in parallel, and what comes after a tv episode. They're probably never going to get it right 100% of the time. I'm interested to see if the game will get a chance to lead with content once the show hits the lull between seasons. I've a suspicion that the TV team gets to dictate just about everything, and might be a bit peeved at the limits imposed because of the game. How much freedom the game team will have to control where this is all going could be the first really interesting content they produce so far.
